Some MATLAB
Resources
Exams
One midterm
and one comprehensive final exams.
Grading Policy:
Your course grade will be
computed as follows:
50% from homework, MATLAB
projects and quizzes, 50% from the mid-term exam and the final
(25% each).
Letter
grades will then be assigned according to the scale:
A,
100-90; B, 89-80; C, 79-70; D, 69-60; F, below 59.
Homework and
Projects:
All
assignments will be collected every Friday in class and only a few
questions in each assignment will be graded. Late homework and projects
will not be accepted.

Make-up Policy:
Make-up
exams will only be granted to students who have convincing excuses and
have informed me in advance. And proper documentation is needed.
Attendance:
Regular
attendance to the lectures is strongly
advised.
You will be responsible for all the material presented in the class,
regardless of whether or not you were present.
Study Hint:
Find at least one or
two other students from the class with whom you can regularly do
homework and prepare for exams. Your classmates are perhaps the least
used and arguably your best resource. An efficient and effective study
group will streamline homework and study time, reduce the need for
attendance at office hours, and greatly improve your written and spoken
communication. The best time to use your classmates as study/homework
partners is after you have made an honest effort on your own to
solve the problems using your own wits, knowledge, and experience. When
you encounter an unsolvable problem, don't give up too soon on it.
Being stumped is an opportunity for mathematical growth and insight,
even if you never solve the problem on your own. If you seek help
prematurely, you will never know if you could have solved a tough
problem without outside assistance.
